All the chronicle literature of ancient Mesopotamia from the early second millennium to Seleucid times is collected in this English translation of Glassner’s Chroniques Mésopotamiennes (Paris: Les Belles Lettres; 1993). In addition to revising and supplementing the French edition; this volume provides transcriptions of the cuneiform and English translations of every example of Sumerian; Assyrian; and Babylonian chronographic literature as well as seminal essays on the genre and on Mesopotamian historiography in general.

Not something that I would choose to pick up and read on my own. It doesn't read easy; because it is mostly straight forward facts one after another. The dialogue is pretty painful to get through. The book was in great shape thought and nothing wrong with the shipper; or anything like that. It really is just the content which SUCKS!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
